Self Esteem and Self Concept
Self Esteem and Self Concept are very important when thinking about a classroom situation. First off self-concept is something that some people have a full grasp of and others don’t. Self-concept is the view of one’s self. If someone has a poor view of themselves or even no view of themselves at all then a self-concept is a very difficult thing to achieve. Self-concept is not something that can be simply just taught but is something that can only be achieved through self-reflection and mainly just growing as a person.
Self-esteem is also very important in a classroom setting. It is very important that teachers help students boost their self-esteem. The dictionary defines self-esteem as a feeling of pride in one’s self. For many students’ self-esteem can be easily boosted with simple good job every now and then. Other students it can seem almost nearly impossible to boost self-esteem. The best thing to do for students like this is never ton give up hope. Giving up hope is the worst thing someone could do in someone’s life that does not have much faith in themselves to begin with.
The best ways to help boost people’s self-esteem is to try to say good things about people’s character. It’s always good to just be positive over all. It is also good just to learn more about your students. Find out what hobbies and interests they have. It is without a doubt that students just want to be treated like people and the better you who they are the easier it will be to help them find there self-concept and boost their self-esteems.
